Caring Week

Next week Keystone Elementary will be celebrating "Caring Week." During the week students will learn to be "Bucket Fillers" not "Bucket Dippers." Are you wondering what that means? Let me explain. . . . Each of us carries an invisible bucket. It gets filled up when someone says or does something nice for us, or when we say or do something nice in return. The opposite of a "Bucket Filler" is a "Bucket Dipper." A "Bucket Dipper" is someone who tries to fill their own bucket by "dipping" from others' buckets. They do this by being unkind. We are striving to be a class of 6th grade "Bucket Fillers." Each week we will share with each other how someone else helped to fill our bucket or how we were "Bucket Fillers." Please talk with your child about how he or she can be a "Bucket Filler."
